Discover the 2024-2025 CSR and QVT calendar to properly prepare your events at the beginning of the year.

CSR concerns all businesses

CSR is defined as” the voluntary integration by companies of social and environmental concerns to their business activities and their relationships with stakeholders.” While twenty years ago, few organizations were concerned with these subjects, many now consider it indispensable.

The main themes addressed in CSR policies are the environment, governance, human rights, local development, etc. Every company, even a small one, is concerned by these topics.

QVT, for good working conditions

When we talk about quality of life at work, we mainly consider working conditions of employees. The individual and collective well-being of the latter is essential, both for them to feel good, but also for the company to be efficient.

The culture of the company, its spirit, management or even the feeling of belonging are factors that have an impact on the well-being of employees, and therefore on QWL.
